Athlete
Yearning for Victory: Why Bonnie's 'Athlete' Unveils the Struggle
Lyrics
Am I moving too slowly
Expressing doubt about personal progress or pace.
Can't keep up with the race
Feeling unable to keep up with the competitive nature of life.
Trying to pass the torch
Attempting to pass on responsibilities or opportunities.
Threw it in your face
Encountering resistance or rejection when trying to share or delegate.
Wish I was an athlete
Expressing a desire to be more physically adept or skillful.
Wish I was good on my feet
Wishing for agility and competence in navigating challenges.
But you don't want me on your team
Feeling excluded or unwanted in a collective endeavor.
Like to think that I make it up with character
Believing that personal qualities compensate for physical shortcomings.
A real team player
Identifying as a team player with positive qualities.
But it doesn't matter
Realizing that personal efforts may not be recognized or valued.
No it doesn't matter
Emphasizing the perceived insignificance of personal contributions.
Wish I was an athlete
Reiterating the desire for physical prowess and skill.
Wish I was good on my feet
Expressing the wish for adeptness and nimbleness.
But you don't want me on your team
Reaffirming a sense of exclusion from a group or team.
Your team
Emphasizing the feeling of not being wanted on a team.
Your team
Repeating the sentiment of exclusion and rejection.
Wish I was an athlete
Expressing the ongoing desire for physical prowess.
Wish I was good on my feet
Reiterating the wish for agility and skillfulness.
But you don't want me on your team
Highlighting the persistent feeling of not fitting into a team.
Your team
Emphasizing the sense of not being part of a specific group.
Your team
Repeating the feeling of exclusion from a team or collective.
